Meteorologinis radaras
Modernisation of the meteorological radar in Brzuchania with Rawlplug! As part of the modernisation project for the meteorological radar in Brzuchania, we provided reliable solutions that contributed to upgrading one of the most important facilities in the Polrad network. How did this remarkable collaboration unfold, and which products played a key role? In February 2004, as part of the flood damage mitigation project, the meteorological radar in Brzuchania was commissioned. It became the final component completing the Polish network of meteorological radars known as Polrad. The Doppler radar METEOR 500C by Gematronik, with a range of 250 km, had supported Poland’s atmospheric monitoring system since 2004. After nearly 20 years of intensive operation, the facility required modernisation to meet contemporary technological standards. Technology in the service of safety The construction of the Polrad radar network, funded by a World Bank loan, was a response to the growing need for precise monitoring of weather phenomena such as heavy rainfall and air turbulence. From its inception, the system has served hydrologists, meteorologists, emergency services, as well as industries like aviation and water management. Did you know? The Polrad radar network not only determines rainfall intensity but also analyses wind direction and speed, detects mesocyclones and turbulence, and enables the preparation of short-term heavy rain warnings. A new standard after 20 years Since 2020, Poland has embarked on a programme to modernise its radar network, including the facility in Brzuchania. In early 2024, a highly innovative dual-polarisation radar was installed, significantly enhancing the quality of collected data. The modernisation involved demolishing the old tower and constructing a new structure, elevated by 15 metres to eliminate terrain obstacles that had emerged in recent years. The implementation of this new device marks a milestone in the development of Poland's meteorological infrastructure, enabling even more precise forecasts and warnings. Modernisation and Rawlplug's role Rawlplug played a significant role in the radar modernisation project by providing technical solutions and products that supported the contractor at every stage of the process. In collaboration with the project manager, alpine specialists, and the general contractor, proven fastening systems were selected and tailored to the specific requirements of the structure based on detailed calculations. These precisely conducted calculations, which accounted for project data and the investor’s requirements, enabled the creation of a durable and safe radar tower structure. Additionally, the construction process was supported by the sliding concrete casting method, ensuring stability and resistance to environmental conditions. Below is the list of products used during the modernisation. R-GOK telescopic sleeves with R-WBT roofing screws R-POK steel washers Metal insulation fixing R-MBA MKC spreader plate Good to know! POLRAD – the Polish network of meteorological radars covering the entire country – provides critical data for meteorological and hydrological models. Managed by the Institute of Meteorology and Water Management (IMGW), this network serves not only an operational role but also supports research activities. Investing in the future The modernisation of the meteorological radar in Brzuchania is an example of how advanced technologies and Rawlplug's years of experience contribute to the successful execution of projects with critical importance for safety and infrastructure development.

Brzuchania meteorologinio radaro modernizacija su Rawlplug produktais!
Įgyvendinant Brzuchania meteorologinio radaro modernizacijos projektą, mes suteikėme patikimus sprendimus, kurie prisidėjo prie vienos svarbiausių Polrad tinklo įrenginių atnaujinimo. Kaip vyko ši išskirtinė bendradarbiavimo patirtis ir kokie produktai suvaidino pagrindinį vaidmenį?
2004 metų vasario mėnesį, kaip dalis potvynių žalų mažinimo projekto, buvo įjungtas Brzuchania meteorologinis radaras. Jis tapo paskutiniu komponentu, užbaigiančiu Lenkijos meteorologinių radaro tinklą Polrad. Doplerio radaras METEOR 500C, pagamintas Gematronik, turintis 250 km spindulį, teikė Lenkijos atmosferos stebėjimo sistemos duomenis nuo 2004 metų. Po beveik 20 metų intensyvaus naudojimo šis įrenginys reikėjo modernizacijos, kad atitiktų šiuolaikinius technologinius standartus.
Technologijos, skirtos saugumui užtikrinti
Polrad radarų tinklo statyba, finansuojama Pasaulio banko paskolos, buvo atsakas į augantį poreikį tiksliai stebėti tokius meteorologinius reiškinius kaip stiprios liūtys ir oro turbulencija. Nuo pat pradžių šis tinklas buvo skirtas hidrologams, meteorologams, gelbėjimo tarnyboms, taip pat tokioms pramonės šakoms kaip aviacija ir vandens valdymas.
Ar žinojote?
Polrad radarų tinklas ne tik nustato lietaus intensyvumą, bet ir analizuoja vėjo kryptį bei greitį, aptinka mezociklonus ir turbulenciją bei leidžia rengti trumpalaikes sunkių liūčių įspėjimus.
Naujas standartas po 20 metų
Nuo 2020 metų Lenkija pradėjo programą, skirtą modernizuoti savo radarų tinklą, įskaitant ir Brzuchania įrenginį. 2024 metų pradžioje buvo įdiegtas aukštos kokybės dvigubos poliarizacijos radaras, kuris žymiai pagerino surinktų duomenų kokybę.
Modernizacija apėmė senojo bokšto nugriovimą ir naujos konstrukcijos statybą, pakeltą 15 metrų aukščiau, kad pašalintų pastaraisiais metais atsiradusius reljefo kliuvinius. Šio naujo įrenginio įdiegimas žymi svarbų žingsnį Lenkijos meteorologinės infrastruktūros plėtrai, leidžiant dar tiksliau prognozuoti ir teikti įspėjimus.
Modernizacija ir Rawlplug vaidmuo
Rawlplug atliko svarbų vaidmenį radaro modernizacijos projekte, teikdama techninius sprendimus ir produktus, kurie palaikė rangovą kiekviename proceso etape. Bendradarbiaujant su projekto vadovu, alpinistų specialistais ir generaliniu rangovu, buvo pasirinktos ir pritaikytos patikimos tvirtinimo sistemos, atsižvelgiant į struktūros specifikacijas ir detalius skaičiavimus.
Atlikus tikslius skaičiavimus, kurie atsižvelgė į projekto duomenis ir užsakovo reikalavimus, buvo sukurta tvirta ir saugi radaro bokšto struktūra. Be to, statybos metu buvo naudojama slydimo betono liejimo metodika, užtikrinant stabilumą ir atsparumą aplinkos sąlygoms. Žemiau pateikiame naudojamų produktų sąrašą.
Naudoti produktai:
- R-GOK teleskopiniai rankovės su R-WBT stogo varžtais
- R-POK plieninės poveržlės
- Metaliniai izoliacijos tvirtinimai R-MBA
- MKC paskirstymo plokštė
Vertinga žinoti!
POLRAD – tai Lenkijos meteorologinių radarų tinklas, apimantis visą šalį ir teikiantis svarbius duomenis meteorologiniams ir hidrologiniams modeliams. Jį valdo Meteorologijos ir hidrologijos institutas (IMGW), o šis tinklas atlieka ne tik operatyvines funkcijas, bet ir palaiko tyrimų veiklą.
Investicijos į ateitį
Brzuchania meteorologinio radaro modernizacija yra pavyzdys, kaip pažangios technologijos ir Rawlplug metų patirtis prisideda prie sėkmingo projektų įgyvendinimo, kurie turi svarbią reikšmę saugumui ir infrastruktūros plėtrai. Dėl šių pastangų Lenkijos radarų sistema pasiruošusi dešimtmečius užtikrinti patikimą veikimą!
